"Tom, long time no see. You look even more dashing than the last time I saw you." They hugged each other with sparkling faces that looked happy. Next to a man called Tom, stood a teenage boy in his late thirteen who had been silent all this time. “Of course, life at the camp is better now. I eat well and live decently there. You, how were you after your father died?” "Bad. Hahaha… so bad.” Tom saw his best friend burst into laughter instead of being sad because his father had just died two months ago. But that's Jacob's nature, he doesn't like to look sad in front of other people and always shows his tough side to everyone. “You seem to be very used to our bad life. By the way how is Mary, when are you going to marry her?” “Of course I'm very used to it, my father has also prepared this since I was very young. So I don't think my father's death had a very bad impact on my life. Oh, Mary is fine. She is preparing for our wedding next month. Come if you can, we canceled our intent
Brukk “Awww...” Calistha winced in pain as her ribs—which had just hit the marble floor in Luca's apartment, ached. Last night she fell asleep on Luca's living room sofa to wait for the man to come home, so this morning she must feel sick because she just fell from Luca's comfortable sofa. “My back… aww, I shouldn't be sleeping here. Oh, what time is it?” Calistha, who was still half asleep, started walking here and there to look for the clock on the wall in Luca's apartment. The atmosphere of the house that seemed weird made Calistha find it difficult to find the clock in the luxury apartment. She then decided to go to her room to wash her face to look fresher. However, the low beeping sound that came from the door made Calistha cancel her intention to go wash her face in her room. Someone out there just pressed the password button and will soon enter the house. "Luca?" Calistha frowned at the sound of a woman's voice coming from the door. Whereas previously she really hoped th
According to the agreement, Calistha decided to stay overnight at Luca's apartment with Aiden. Even though Aiden had rejected the offer many times and forced her to go home, Calistha persisted in staying until she got the full story about her father's past. During dinner, Luca was busy telling stories about how he first met Jacob. All of that happened about five years ago, when Jacob decided to set up a company on British soil, but the man felt unable to manage it himself. Then Luca comes as a british man who wants to apply for a job as a secretary to Jacob. "You've known my father that long? Why have we never met before?” Luca smiled a little at Calistha as he cut his steak calmly. Actually, he had always been watching Calistha from a distance, pretending to be someone else she didn't know so that she wouldn't notice his presence. Jacob is a man who is very protective of his daughter. It was a fact that Calistha had never realized all this time. So, Luca plays a spy whose job is to
Due to his bad condition, finally Aiden and Calistha left Luca last night to get some rest at doctor Albert's house. After all, Luca really had to rest his mind for a while before tomorrow he returned to struggling with his new-very disturbing problem. Finding one bad person who wants to kill him among thousands of bad people, of course is very difficult. Even Luca himself couldn't predict who was going to take his life because recently his allies had decreased a bit. Many rebellions took place in the cartel. And with the death of the Baron, the rebellion became more and more inevitable until it could trigger divisions inside the cartel itself. "So what are we going to do today?" “Our work has become more and more hard, your father's rhymes have not been completely solved, plus Luca and Emily's problems, we can't just trust them. Especially Emily, that woman is dangerous.” "Emily? So that's your reason why you didn't help her right away when the attack happened? I see you and Luca
“What should I say to the police? They asked us to give testimony at the office regarding last night's accident case," said Calistha panicked. After the doctor finished examining Aiden's head and said that the man had a mild concussion, two police officers came to him and asked for an explanation of their accident. But Calistha immediately dodged the two policemen with the excuse that Aiden still needed rest to recover his condition. In fact, Calistha was confused with herself. There were too many enemies targeting them out there, so she was afraid to step out of the Emerald Hospital which she thought was very safe. “Ask Luca to silence the cops, I don't want the case of last night's accident to be investigated because it will endanger us all. As long as we don't know who really wants our death, it's better if we remain silent and look like idiots who don't know anything. But now I suspect El Diablo is the mastermind behind last night's accident because I believe that the slogan bel
The two of them were now in a black sedan driven by a foreign man who Aiden himself did not know. However, when they came out of the hospital lobby door, the foreign man who claimed to be named Rocky immediately approached Aiden and provided strong evidence that the man was really a spy for President Moon who was assigned to help him. “El Diablo's position is currently at his base, so we'll have to wait until that guy goes to visit his girlfriend at the apartment… ah shit!” Rocky cursed while pressing the digital screen a few times that was beside the steering wheel. A message just arrived and sent a notification that El Diablo would not meet his girlfriend today at the Star Light City apartment, but at a luxurious restaurant located in the heart of the city. His position in the center of the city would make it difficult for Aiden to execute him because he would be in the midst of the civilian population. “El Diablo will meet his girlfriend in a Buenos Aires restaurant, you will fi
"Crying will never bring back what has happened, so shut up and think about the next steps to fix your messed up life."Calistha looks still very devastated by Rocky's death caused by her carelessness. Even though they never knew each other, she felt really, really bad for Rocky. If she could, she wanted to go back and take proper care of Rocky's body. As a form of guilt, she wants to give Rocky a proper funeral service. Unfortunately Aiden didn't allow her to do that and only focused on what they had to finish soon. There were still many tasks waiting for them ahead, including finding another bastard who wanted to kill Luca last night.When remembering Luca, for some reason Calistha's heart suddenly felt sinking. She seemed to be getting an extra burden because she had to think about the lives of other people who could get in trouble because of her existence. Life is unfair, when she feels happy because other people around her and supporting her, they just seem to have bad luck becau
Calistha bit her lip slowly while watching Aiden's calm face resting on his comfortable hospital blanket. After two hours of doctors examining him and stitching up the wounds on his face, Aiden was finally able to be transferred to a regular ward in an unconscious condition. Ten minutes ago Aiden had opened his eyes, muttered incoherently, then closed his eyes again peacefully. According to doctor, Aiden's condition is stable, and soon the man will open his eyes after the effects of the anesthetic wear off.“Huufftt… quickly wake up and be cynical in front of me again. Really, it's much better than me seeing you lying weak like this." Calistha whispered softly to the empty air around her.She then stood up and decided to go outside for a while. A little breath of fresh air in the hospital garden doesn't seem like a bad idea. Since then she was quite bored of being in Aiden's lonely treatment room. Moreover, she was only accompanied by the sound of a cardiograph, which had been so nois
